3 years ago Is Mint shipping any custom plugins for Pluma?
This sure sounds like something a plugin would have to do. I have run every version of Pluma back to 1.10 (a then-experimental gtk3 bulld) and normall run builds from git master and have never done this.

Expected behaviour
"Normal" text selection with the mouse as it's always worked, and works in virtually every other application.
Actual behaviour
I had a perfectly good pluma install, did some routine system upgrades, and now I've got this bizarre "quote" thing that makes selecting text difficult to do accurately, blocks my view of what I'm trying to select, and prevents me from triple-clicking to select a whole line. No mention of it in Help, or Preferences, or Plugins, and I can't even figure out what you would call it so Googling for info has been useless too.
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
Not sure what I did to activate it initially unless my routine updates updated pluma. Now all I have to do is try to select text with the mouse. Tried upgrading Mint to get access to a newer version of pluma, but behavior persists.
MATE general version
First cropped up under Mate 1.20, persisted after upgrade to 1.24.
Package version
Pluma is 1.24.0-1, but was definitely an earlier version when this first happened before I upgraded Mint and everything else.
Linux Distribution
First cropped up under Mint 19.1, persists now in Mint 20.2.
Link to bugreport of your Distribution (requirement)
I haven't submitted it as a bug report because I can't find any information about it at all. For all I know this is completely intentional, it was left out of all documentation for some reason, and I just need to switch text editors.
